senator dianne feinstein admitted that she had her gun ban bill ready to go a year ago. tucked away in a drawer, waiting for the right opportunity. really. waiting for an unspeakable tragedy to push their political agenda? is it any wonder why most americans don't trust congress? they are simply not serious about making our kids or our country safer. if they were serious, they would arrest, they would prosecute, and they would imprisoned felons with guns, gangs with guns, and drug dealers with guns, as many as they could find. [applause] that's what they do. -- they would do. and that's with the public wants. but they do not do that. what they do instead, if they let them go read. -- go free. let's talk for a minute about this thing called sequestration. . run the nra not an economic think tank. but i watch the news. of rationalnstead belt-tightening, the first thing the government thinks to do, according to law-enforcement thousands ofd let criminal illegals out of jail. you know what? normal people allover the country think that's crazy.

senator feinstein suggested if they could get registered, they could have forced buybacks. in modern times, there are two other reasons why you do not want a federal registry. one was in new york and someone got a hold of the list. the results have been not good. there was a time when all of the best motives on the part of the government. they could take a list and lock it in the vault and be secure. we cannot even secure national defense secrets now. the arts are that if we kept that registry -- and it is illegal now. if you go to the system, they can check you but they cannot keep the record. it is checked and then there is no cost to canada had a big registry but they just stopped it because it did not do anything. in the 60's and the 80's, people had to keep track of ammunition sales. finally the government said this makes no sense because ammunition is a commodity and that does not do any good. it takes tons and tons of paperwork to look at it. the question is what works and what doesn't work. >> you mentioned that there are plenty of democrats who were members of your
